Inspiration

Where do you get your inspiration from? Is it from a friend? A family member? Perhaps your children?

My inspiration comes from many places. Today it came from a friend's blog and my husband. They inspired me to remember that God loves me for who I am. That HE is the one that I need to look to. HE is the one, the ONLY one, who can make me feel whole.

I will be the first to admit that I am not perfect...not NEAR it. I don't always look to God for my direction. At times, I utterly and completely fail.

I know that God wants me to look to Him always. He wants me to look to Him for inspiration. He wants me to fully depend on Him. From 1 Peter 5 I found this verse: "Cast your cares upon the Lord, for he cares for you." Why can I not do that? Why do I take all of the worries and guilt on myself? In Matthew 11 I find this, "Come unto me, all ye who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest." Rest, He will GIVE me rest! I don't have to work for it, I don't have to plead for it, He will just GIVE it to me.

Today I truly believe that God used one of my fellow bloggers and friend to remind me to trust in Him and to look to him. I thank God for her. I thank God for my husband who helped me realize that the devil was trying to use a situation to make me stumble. God has given me much and for that He is to be PRAISED!
